The book explores the rich complexities of a central Bangladeshi village, populated by Muslims, Hindus and Christians.Through a carefully constructed theoretical framework the author demonstrates the ways in which class and communal domination reinforce gender inequality. The position of women is analysed in terms of linkages between religious values, sexuality, economics and politics. She also examines the divergence between the demands of the economy and the system of values in Bengali society.
